Private Flights to San Francisco and Northern California

Whether you’re a business professional flying private from Los Angeles (LAX) to San Francisco (SFO) for business within the state of California, or a family taking a vacation from around the world to the beautiful Bay Area, we can arrange the aircraft that best suits your trip.

Below you will find a list of the top private flight destinations in the Bay Area and Northern California. These include San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Sacramento, San Jose, Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, and many other areas.

Concord

Charter a private flight to Concord, the largest city in Contra Costa County. Concord is a suburban business city located in the East Bay region of San Francisco’s Bay Area, a mere 35 minute BART ride away from the Embarcadero waterfront. After your private jet lands at (CCR) Buchanan Field Airport, take five and stop by one of several parks named after jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, who was born in the city of Concord. The city of Vallejo rests opposite San Pablo Bay, and is a short trip from Napa Valley and Wine Country.

Eureka

Travel to Northern California’s Redwood Empire by chartering a private jet to Eureka, California. Eureka is a bit low-key, with the main attraction here being a drive up the coast surrounded by spectacular scenery. While occasional festivals such as the Redwood Coast Dixieland Jazz Festival will hit the streets in Eureka, the best nightlife in the area will be found in Arcata, a small university town on the north of Humboldt Bay. We can arrange your private flight to arrive at (KACV, ACV) Arcata-Eureka Airport, serving a majority of California’s Northern Pacific Coast.

Fresno

Located in the heart of San Joaquin Valley in central California, the city of Fresno and the surrounding area is one of the nation’s largest producer of agriculture such as citrus, cotton and olives. Fresno is a great city to use as a base for trips to Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sierra National Forest, with (FAT) Fresno – Yosemite International Airport serving the majority of air traffic in Fresno. The Fresno area is also home to a couple other airports located in the surrounding cities of Madera and Visalia.

Lake Tahoe

Fly private to South Lake Tahoe, one of the best natural beauties you”ll find in all of California. Mark Twain once said of this place “To breathe the same air as the angels, you must go to Tahoe”, and while sitting on the shores along the beautiful cobalt waters of the lake, one finds it hard to disagree with Mr. Clemens. The lake is split by the California/Nevada border, and Reno and Carson City are both close to the lake in the neighboring state. Whether you prefer to fly into (RNO) Reno-Tahoe International Airport to play some games before hitting the lake, or if you’d like to land closer to the ski resorts of South Lake Tahoe in the winter months at (TVL) Lake Tahoe Airport, we can arrange the right aircraft and itinerary for your trip.

Modesto

Arrange your private flight to (MOD) Modesto City-County Airport in the city of Modesto, located in the San Joaquin Valley in Central California. The city of Modesto is best known as the birthplace of legendary film-maker George Lucas, and the city was immortalized in his 1973 film American Graffiti, despite the fact that none of the film was shot in Modesto. The city is also know as one of the birthplaces of modern rock & roll, where the Maddox Brothers and Rose formed the roots of Rockabilly music.

Napa Valley

Charter a private flight to Napa Valley, known throughout the United States as Wine Country. Some of the world’s premier wine makers have vineyards in the valley. There are a couple of airports within 15 miles of the city, with the most convenient being (APC) Napa County Airport. After landing you’ll want to spend either a day, or perhaps an entire week enjoying the imposing expanse of nature mixed with wine culture that is Napa Valley. Considered one of the finest areas to grow wine in the world, you’d be hard-pressed to find more delicious wine elsewhere.

Oakland

Book your private flight to the East Bay port city of Oakland, home to the largest port in Northern California. While lacking the amount of tourist attractions found in San Francisco, and although it doesn’t quite meet the suburban ethos and high-tech lifestyle of San Jose, visitors to Oakland can still find plenty to do “there”, despite what Gertrude Stein may have said, all without needing to cross any bridges. Named after its abundance of Oak trees and known for its iconic bridge, the city played a major cultural role in the 60s, and was home to groups such as the Black Panther Movement and Hell’s Angels. Today, the city of Oakland has toned it down a notch, and offers affluent, hillside neighborhoods to go with a thriving sports scene. Arrange your private flight to land at either (OAK) Oakland International Airport, with options at (HWD) Hayward Executive and (LVK) Livermore Municipal along the East Bay as well.

Palo Alto

Home to Stanford University and a wealth of high-tech companies, private flyers heading to the Silicon Valley area can choose Palo Alto as their destination. Located in the heart of the valley, Palo Alto offers slightly less congested air travel compared to San Jose International when flying to the South Bay Area. (PAO) Palo Alto Airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country, but its runway may not accommodate larger private aircraft. Thankfully, (NUQ) Moffett Federal Airfield is nearby in Mountain View, and has a runway large enough to fly your executive team to Silicon Valley in one private jet.

Redding

Charter a private jet to Redding, the largest city in California found north of Sacramento. We can arrange for your private flight to land at (RDD) Redding Municipal Airport, where you’ll find yourself surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Shasta County. With many resources locally available, Redding has become a great place for startups over the past decade. If your business or vacation plans look to take you outside of Redding, we can arrange your flight to land at either (RBL) Red Bluff Municipal to the north in the town of Red Bluff, or at (CIC) Chico Municipal to the south in the agricultural city of Chico.

Sacramento

Book your private flight to Sacramento, capital city of California. Located at the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers, Sacramento is the oldest incorporated city in California, founded in 1849 at the height of California’s Gold Rush. Old Sacramento, formerly a pioneering riverfront town, is now a living historic district with museums, souvenir shops and restaurants. The California State Fair is held at the Cal Expo fairgrounds every year from mid-July through early August. (SAC) Sacramento Executive Airport is a popular choice for Government officials and executives conducting business within the state capital.

Salinas

Salinas and the surrounding areas of Monterey, Bug Sur and Pebble Beach offer beautiful coastal landscapes with luxurious resorts that provide the ultimate in relaxation. Stay along the Pacific Coast at one of the resorts surrounding world-famous Pebble Beach Golf Links; head up to Big Sur, where some of the world’s most influential artists hide away for inspiration; visit Monterey and enjoy touring wine vineyards in the town immortalized by John Steinbeck in his novel Cannery Row. The most popular airports for private flights to the region are (SNS) Salinas Municipal and (MRY) Monterey Regional, with airfields in King City and Marina also serving local flights.

San Francisco

Charter a private jet to San Francisco, the crown jewel of the Bay Area. The scenic beauty, liberal community, Victorian architecture and cultural diversity are just some of the many reasons San Francisco is one of the most visited cities in the world. The city has been the setting for many novels and movies, and the Bay Area music scene has produced some of the most influential artists over the past 50 years. Despite the overwhelming abundance the city offers, it’s quite compact, covering just under 50 square miles. Each of the 11 districts within the city offer something different, whether you’re a sea-foodie longing for a visit to Fisherman’s Wharf or a bohemian Deadhead day-tripping around Haight-Ashbury. (SFO) San Francisco International Airport is one of the busier airports in the area, so you might want to utilize nearby (HAF) Half Moon Bay Airport.

San Jose

Charter a private jet and fly to California’s beautiful South Bay area using San Jose Jet Charter. San Jose is surrounded by the rolling hills of Silicon Valley, home to some of the top technology companies in the world such as eBay, Adobe and Cisco. Apple, based in nearby Cupertino, is constructing its new campus in San Jose, and more and more companies are moving their operations from other areas of the valley to more start-up friendly San Jose, the self-proclaimed “Capital of Silicon Valley”. After your private flight arrives at (SJU) Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport, you can head over to Santa Clara and check out California’s Great America theme park, and Levi’s Stadium, home to the San Francisco 49er’s and Superbowl XL.

Santa Cruz

Fly private to the beautiful Central Coast of California using our Santa Cruz private jet charter service. Resting along the northern shores of Monterey Bay, the city of Santa Cruz is best know for its pristine beaches that feature a variety of conditions, some of them havens for swimmers and sun-seekers, while many others are a surfer’s paradise. While Santa Cruz is also know for its laid-back, bohemian lifestyle, there’s a rising number of high-tech firms in the area, and the city has a vibrant, youthful culture thanks to the University of California Santa Cruz. Neighboring cities Hollister and Watsonville are home to municipal airports perfect for getting you closer to your destination. We can arrange your private flight to arrive at either (WVI) Watsonville Airport or (CVH) Hollister Airport, with Monterey and San Jose being the closest options for International travel.

Sonoma

A premier destination for leisure travelers and wine enthusiasts, the areas of Sonoma County and Napa Valley offer luxurious retreats and are meccas for wine connoisseurs. The area is also home to Sonoma Raceway, the road-course formerly known as Sears Point and one of the most grueling tracks on the NASCAR circuit. If you’re interested in flying private to wine country, we can arrange your private jet to land at airports in either counties of Sonoma, Napa or Marin – we can also arrange to have your favorite bottles of Napa Valley wine on board so you and your guests can enjoy them during your private flight to either (STS) Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport, (APC) Napa County Airport or (KDVO, NOT)Marin County Airport.

Stockton

Stockton, home to the world’s most inland natural port, is located in the San Joaquin Delta and is one of the larger cities in California’s Central Valley. Stockton was once a major port city, and its central location between San Francisco and Sacramento along I-5 and Highway 99 have made it an important location for many regional operations. A major city during the California Gold Rush, Stockton’s economy today is based in agriculture, surrounded by fertile lands with farms that offer an abundance of fresh produce and wine tasting. Fly private into (SCK) Stockton Metropolitan Airport or just outside of the city at either (TCY) Tracy Municipal Airport or one of two airports in Lodi.

Yosemite

Enjoy a private flight to Yosemite and visit one of the most beautiful parks in the country. The place that started the National Park movement way back in the late 19th-century, Yosemite National Park celebrated its 125th birthday in 2015, and the park continues to draw visitors from all over, welcoming over 4 million guests every year. Whether you’re interested in camping around Tenaya Lake, hiking to the top of Half Dome or enjoying some fishing at Bass Lake, we can arrange your private flight to (MMH) Mammoth Yosemite Airport, or one of three other airports located around the area.
